Mothballs, Part 1: Main Character


Listen Later

Join us as we discuss John Keel’s “Mothman Prophecies,” its cultural influence, and its legacy on the paranormal. While we’re taking a critical tone to Keel’s own approach and much of his observations, we also acknowledge his lasting relevance to the field and the possibility to his insights. But mostly, we’ll be busting Mothman’s mothballs.


In this episode, we’ll discuss Chapter 1: Beelzebub Visits West Virginia, a noir main character complex, and a thirteen-step logic leap that must be heard to be believed.
